Actually i was thinking of Mushishi, Haibane, Noiseman Rakuen, Space Odyssey 2001 (the anime version), Kino's Travel and Yukikaze final ep. Or Yokohama Kadaishi Kikou, at the risk being lynched by mob later. Or Korepan, a very symbolic and simple anime.

Even the new version of Negima is what I would consider as artsy but it is hugely debatable.

Yes, it looks incredibly pretty. And is completely without energy or soul. The other variants of this style worked on Pani Poni Dash and Tsukiyomi, but Negima is a combination of both and it just doesn't work, imo.

I also don't like the way his animation style depopulates the world. Apart from the main characters, there are very few background figures to suggest that there is a world outside the events being portrayed in his shows.

The oav, itself, is a 15 minute intro to the game, so it doesn't really have any of the stuff that School Days is notorious for. And there are roughly 26 endings to the game, only about a third of which end in disaster like this. Though what upset a lot of players when the game first came out was how easy it was to end up with one of the disasterous endings because of the way it was set up.... Even if you were trying to keep on track with the main girl, innocent choices such as between walking around the school and going back to class would suddenly see you in bed with the other girl, Kotonoha. And Kotonoha, as the two endings I posted show, is not the least bit stable.

There is talk about a School Days anime in 2007, but if it turns out to be true, don't automatically expect it to be anything other than a dating sim tv anime adaptation.

It's only a precedent if they choose to do the same thing, ie a series which has the same story follow different paths to different conclusions. There is no guarantee of that. Look at the Type Moon shows.

But as I said, with the psychomoe thing going around, they're bound to use one of these endings in the anime as it is what School Days is most notorious for.

And err about the list , we've kinda played 60% of it already .

Haibane - played
Kogepan - played
Paranoia Ageny - played
Hoshi no Koe - played

Doesn't deny the fact they're good. I distinctly Azumanga Daioh getting a rerun when we were desperately low on anything worth playing last year. The even sadder part was reruns of AD were outdoing the other stuff.
